Q.

A.
'Harta ini disita' carries the meaning of property being seiged by order of High Court to proceed for a sale to recover the Arrears owing to the local government, in accordance to s.151 of the Local Government Act, 1976.

See below on s.151.

In the example above, the holding has arrears unpaid, and the local government had issued Forms E and F and G to obtain payment in vain. See earlier postings on this:-
